	Lord Acton	By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion.
	John Adams	Each individual of the society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws. He is obliged, consequently, to contribute his share to the expense of this protection; and to give his personal service, or an equivalent, when necessary. But no part of the property of any individual can, with justice, be taken from him, or applied to public uses, without his own consent, or that of the representative body of the people. In fine, the people of this commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent.
	Publius Terentius Afer	Charity begins at home.
	American Bar Association	I shall not counsel or maintain any suit or proceeding which shall appear to me to be unjust, nor any defense except such as I believe to be honestly debatable under the law of the land.
	Frederic Bastiat	By virtue of exchange, one man's prosperity is beneficial to all others.
	Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux	Honor is like an island, rugged and without a beach; once we have left it, we can never return.
	William Bradford	If all were to share alike, and all were to do alike, then all were on an equality throughout, and one was as good as another; and so, if it did not actually abolish those very relations which God himself has set among men, it did at least greatly diminish the mutual respect that is so important should be preserved amongst them. Let none argue that this is due to human failing, rather than to this communistic plan of life in itself....
	William Bradford	The experience that was had in ... the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth ... was found to breed much confusion and discontent; and retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit.... For the young men that were most able and fit for labor and service objected that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children, without any recompense.... The strong man or the resourceful man had no more share of food, clothes, etc., than the weak man who was not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men, who were ranked and equalized in labor, food, clothes, etc., with the meaner and younger ones, thought it some indignity and disrespect to them.
	Dr. Paul F. Brandwein	As teachers, we enter the minds of others; thus we live in eternity. We help others live better lives, thus teaching remains a mercy.
	Buddha	To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
	Buddha
	Edmund Burke	There never was a bad man that had ability for good service.
	Edmund Burke	Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.
	Robert Byrne	The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.
	Sir Winston Churchill	I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
	Sir Winston Churchill	Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.  But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
	Joseph Conrad	You can’t, in sound morals, condemn a man for taking care of his own integrity. It is his clear duty.
	Pierre Corneille	Do your duty, and leave the rest to heaven.
	Alma Daniel	It is up to you to decide whether or not you’re ready to be free, really free. This pertains to your relationship as well as your activities in the world. You are limitless, if you choose that! Your freedom comes from letting go. Freedom means empowerment to be, do, go, feel, whatever your heart tells you. Only you have kept yourself from having this freedom out of some misunderstanding of what your responsibilities really are. Your responsibilities are to your Self. Serve that truly, fully, and you serve All.
	Clarence S. Darrow	The objector and the rebel who raises his voice against what he believes to be the injustice of the present and the wrongs of the past is the one who hunches the world along.
	Albert Einstein	The highest destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
	Henry Fielding	When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough; I've done my duty, and I've done no more.
	Henry Ford	To do for the world more than the world does for you -- that is success.
	Benjamin Franklin	Governor Thomas was so pleas'd with the Construction of this Stove, as describ'd in it, that he offer'd to give me a Patent for the sole Vending of them for a Term of Years; but I declin'd it from a Principle which has ever weigh'd with me on such Occasions, viz. That as we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of Others, we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.
	Rick Gaber	The Nazis are well remembered for murdering well over 11 million people in the implementation of their slogan, 'The public good before the private good,' the Chinese Communists for murdering 62 million people in the implementation of theirs, 'Serve the people,' and the Soviet Communists for murdering more than 60 million people in the implementation of Karl Marx's slogan, 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.'  Anyone who defends any of these, or any variation of them, on the grounds of their 'good intentions' is an immoral (NOT 'amoral') enabler of the ACTUAL (not just the proverbial) road to hell.
	Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi	Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
	John C. Gifford	One man can completely change the character of a country, and the industry of its people, by dropping a single seed in fertile soil.
	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.
	Baltasar Gracian	The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
	Angelica Grimke	The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians.
	Elizabeth Harrison	Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize.
	Friedrich August von Hayek	Many of the greatest things man has achieved are not the result of consciously directed thought, and still less the product of a deliberately coordinated effort of many individuals, but of a process in which the individual plays a part which he can never fully understand.
	Patrick Henry	It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. ... Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things, which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
	Hippocrates	Idleness and lack of occupation tend -- nay are dragged -- towards evil.
	Adolf Hitler	It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own pride is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole; that pride and conceitedness, the feeling that the individual ... is superior, so far from being merely laughable, involve great dangers for the existence of the community that is a nation; that above all the unity of a nation’s spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and the will of an individual; and that the higher interests involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the duties of interests of the individual. ... By this we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow men.
	Eric Hoffer	When our individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for, we are in desperate need for something apart from us to live for. All forms of dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to our lives.
	John Holt	People who make careers out of helping others -- sometimes at great sacrifice, often not -- usually don't like to hear that those others might get along fine, might even get along better, without their help.
	Indian Proverb	The most beautiful things in the universe are the starry heavens above us and the feeling of duty within us.
	Andrew Jackson	The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.
	Thomas Jefferson	Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing ... this enterprise is for the young; for those who can follow it up, and bear it through to it's consummation. It shall have all my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man.
	Lyndon B. Johnson	You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harm it would cause if improperly administered.
	Juvenal	Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes life worth having.
	Immanuel Kant	The human heart refuses to believe in a universe without purpose.
	Helen Keller	I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
